Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 37 "Talent"

Over the next two days.

Except for buying energy bars once, Song Shi did not go out. He stayed in this cheap hotel and devoted himself to the practice of "spiritual power".

The intimidation from the "Cross Tiger Gang" was indeed unpleasant, but Song Shi was a psychic after all. In his current situation, when he had no money to buy more "equipment", practicing "psychic power" was the most important thing.

Wait a little longer.

······
Song Shi slowly opened his eyes, and red-gold flames burned in his pupils.

Even more than that, his entire body was enveloped in flames, and every breath he took caused the surrounding flames to sway.

The flames that had required all-out efforts not long ago were now just an ordinary state.

After spending three days, Song Shi finally mastered [Accommodation] and [Return] and engraved them into his own path!
If Song Shi's path were opened at this moment, he would be able to clearly see that on his personal path, with only the first ring lit up, three symbols with different patterns were floating - these were the three psychic skills that Song Shi now possessed.

Theoretically, even the simplest one of them, [Containment], would take an ordinary first-ring psychic a month to engrave.

It’s just that Song Shi is extremely talented.

There is also the "Flame of Forging" that performs three-in-one operations. When they are superimposed on each other, although the risk is greatly increased, the effect is also greatly increased.

Moreover, Song Shi had already mastered these two psychic skills to the core in his previous life. If he had not planned to build the "muscle memory" of this body in advance, he could have even tried to engrave the path to enlightenment directly when he had just awakened.

"call--"

Song Shi exhaled a breath that was mixed with a few sparks.

"Finally feeling a little better."

He stood up from the bathtub, and as he stood up, the flames around him slowly went out and disappeared.

After getting used to being able to summon molten streams of fire enough to burn down an entire street with just a wave of his hand, Song Shi is now like a "candle" with a tiny flame.

People who are on the plateau will find it difficult to breathe due to the thin air - because the "Great Source Power" that he possesses is too scarce, Song Shi has been feeling this discomfort since his psychic awakening.

Until now.

With the engraving of [Accommodate] and [Return], and feeling the surge of his own abundant spiritual energy, Song Shi finally felt a little refreshed.

——If you were to go all out, your "spiritual energy" would be exhausted in five minutes.

"And now, fifteen minutes."

Song Shi calmed his breath and made an assessment: "The speed of spiritual energy recovery has also increased. After three hours of meditation and rest, it will basically be fully recovered."

Considering that it is impossible to use only psionic energy during the battle, this "fifteen minutes" will definitely be extended a lot.

After all, the destructive power of a first-level psychic is not as good as that of a large-caliber gun. In real combat, equipment is still the main thing, and psychic power is supplementary.

"Next, it's just a pure accumulation process."

The three psychic skills have been engraved. The only obstacle to my advancement to the second level - [Mastery] is the accumulation of psychic energy.

Through day-to-day practice, one accumulates "spiritual energy" to one's own limit, and then uses it to impact the door that blocks the first and second rings. When one breaks through the blocking door, one steps into the second ring area of ​​the path, where one successfully lights up oneself - three steps, this is the promotion process to the second ring.

"Oh, this simple accumulation, with my talent, can be completed in two and a half months at the latest."

The words stopped abruptly.

Song Shi stopped and suddenly realized something.

"No, wait a minute." "This body's... "talent"?"

There was no sense of strangeness, and it was completely consistent with the spiritual practice process in my memory...

——This is the biggest problem.

Even if they possess the same "psychic skill", due to individual differences, there will be certain slight differences in the way each psychic uses it.

What's more, the entire "spiritual cultivation process"! How could it be almost the same? There must be differences!
But I didn't.

Song Shi thought.

Everything was the same as he remembered, and there was no difference from his practice in his previous life.

This is so natural, and it is precisely because of this naturalness that I have always ignored it.

But in terms of talent as a "psychic", how could the original body be almost the same as me!
Song Shi doesn't think that an ordinary person can have the talent of a psychic comparable to his own - although he doesn't want to brag about himself, Song Shi respects objective facts and believes that he is indeed a genius among ten thousand.

“Wan” refers to psychics.

"Same name, similar looks and talents."

Looking at the half-broken mirror on the wall, with the surface shattered, and the familiar yet unfamiliar face, Song Shi couldn't help but hesitate, muttering softly: "What's going on?"

".No, there is a way to verify it."

After a while of silence.

Song Shi looked at himself in the mirror and whispered, "Twenty years ago, at this time, I would still be in an orphanage."

He had a gut feeling.

Perhaps a trip to that place would answer this question for me - the place where Song Shi stayed until he was fifteen years old in his previous life was an orphanage located in the [Pan-Eastern Continent Federation].

But definitely not now.

The border between the [Pan-Eastern Continental Union] and the [Corporate Alliance] is not adjacent. There are large tracts of "wasteland" between the two. It is extremely dangerous to cross over by land. As for going there by shuttle in the sky, he cannot afford the ticket.

In addition, as combatants and ultimate victors in the former "Seven Lands War", although so many years have passed and exchanges between the two have gradually returned to normal, people entering each other's territory still need to have their identities verified - of course, there are definitely people who sneak across the border.

And
We can't just go on like this.

The power I currently have is too weak. Once we encounter any problems, our ability to resist risks is too low and accidents are inevitable.

There was another moment of silence.

"——The third ring."

Song Shi raised his head and stared in one direction: "When I re-enter the third ring, I will go back to the Union to see "myself" with my own eyes."

"Well, we can't stop moving forward because of something like the past." Then, Song Shi suddenly smiled.

I still have a lot of things to do right now.

The young man stretched and walked out of the bathroom.

"let me see"

"Now that my psychic powers have been temporarily developed, it's time to prepare and meet my 'friends' at the institute again."
